Donald Trump made history last week, in a great many ways. But the one thing nobody is talking about is the single most important breakthrough for you as an investor.
Now, the Donald’s candidacy is already historic enough…
We have never seen a billionaire magnate get so close to the ultimate brass ring: the leader of the free world. We’ve never watched a candidate so easily slay his opponents with malice and schoolyard insults. And most importantly, we’ve never seen an outsider candidate demolish the political establishment like Trump has.
It’s been a wild ride to say the least.
But that isn’t the history I’m talking about today. I’m specifically talking about what happened at the Republican National Convention. No matter where your politics land, that convention was great TV and had its own share of historic moments…
It was the first convention that flat out called the opponent a Satan worshipper, as Ben Carson did during his speech when he said “So are we willing to elect someone as president who has as their role model somebody who acknowledges Lucifer?”
(Say want you want about Hillary Clinton — and there is plenty to say — I have serious doubts about her credibility as a card-carrying member of the Church of Satan. I doubt that even they would accept her as a member.)
It was also the first convention I have ever seen that has actively called for the imprisonment of the opponent. “Lock Her Up!” was a common refrain after almost every mention of Hillary Clinton’s name. Again, I totally see where voters are coming from, but it was still a first for a political convention.
But the most historic moment came not from Satan or the penal system. It came from a gay, libertarian billionaire: Peter Thiel.
Now, of course the simple fact that a keynote speaker at a Republican convention would stand up and say “I’m proud to be gay” is historic enough. But for our purposes as investors, the most important takeaway from the convention is that Thiel is throwing millions of dollars at into the next massive market — one that Republicans have spent plenty of blood, sweat, and tears fighting against.
Here’s how to play it…
You see, Peter Thiel is much more of a businessman than a political activist. As the co-founder of PayPal, he made billions with another superhero investor whose name you might recognize: Tesla’s Elon Musk. Good company for sure…
PayPal went public in 2002 and was sold to Ebay for $1.5 billion. Quite the feather in the cap for a career investor.
Thiel was also the first outside investor in Facebook. He sold over 20 million shares for around $400 million — another feather in the cap.
“I build companies and I’m supporting people who are building new things, from social networks to rocket ships. I’m not a politician,” Thiel once said.
He does this over and over again, and will continue to do so.
That’s why Thiel was also ranked number four in the Forbes Midas list, which recognizes investors who turn everything they touch to gold.
All of these things are why I’m confident in his next venture: the sale of legalized cannabis.
Last year, through his Founder’s Fund, Thiel invested millions of dollars into Privateer Holdings — a private equity firm that focuses on the future of the cannabis industry. Some estimates put his stake at $75 million.
Even for a billionaire, that is a confident bet…
It’s already paying off… and will continue to over the next few years.
Privateer is positioning itself for the widespread legalization of recreational use and, right now, it’s the wild west out there. If early investors place the right bets, they’ll be rewarded with one of the biggest growth markets in the recent history of investing.
“There are no standards, no leaders, no significant brand — we’re at the point where the industry is being ‘productized’, where suddenly someone buying cannabis might begin seeing it packaged nicely, in a way that implies safety, consistency and quality. That’s a big leap from buying something in a Ziploc bag,” noted co-founder and CEO of Privateer Brendan Kennedy.
Kennedy believes the market is worth an astonishing $50 billion in the United States and four times that worldwide.
Privateer Holdings has three fundamental beliefs:
1. Cannabis is a mainstream product consumed by mainstream people;
2. The end of cannabis prohibition is inevitable; and
3. Brands will determine the future of the cannabis industry.
I agree with all of these statements. The problem is, as an individual investor, you cannot invest alongside Peter Thiel in Privateer Holdings.
That’s where I come in…
Now, just like the idea of a gay man addressing the Republican National Convention may have been shocking to a lot of people, I’m sure the idea of investing in marijuana sounds just as crazy. But disruptive investments — like the ones that Thiel has banked on for his entire career — are the ones that can really change your life.
And Peter Thiel is hardly the only billionaire dumping money into this new sector.
- Warren Buffett has secret ties to Colorado’s marijuana warehouses…
- George Soros recently staked down a fortune
- Former Microsoft executive Jamen Shively said “This Will Create More Millionaires Than Microsoft”
Legal marijuana is the most lucrative opportunity I’ve seen in all of my time as an investment analyst. All-new millionaires are being minted every day… with many more to come.
When you consider the tide of public opinion…
The growing number of states lining up for legalization…
And the massive profits about to be unleashed as a result…
It’s a no-brainer investment, regardless of your position on marijuana. I think you can agree legal marijuana is inevitable, as are the profits at stake.
I’ve put together an entire report for you to take advantage of this trend.
I’ve toured the shops… the factories… and the fields…
I’ve weeded out the fly-by-night penny stocks.
And I’ve come up with three companies that will allow you to invest in the most lucrative opportunity you’ve ever seen. You can read all about them right here.
